Prayer Partners,

My heart tonight is so heavy for our friends, The Morgans. Maybe some of you who read this site remember me writing about them. Ryan was diagnosed about a year AFTER Chandler with neuroblastoma. He went through treatment like a champ but as too many kids do, he relapsed. Along about the same time that he relapsed, his awesome mama was diagnosed with breast cancer. The two fought their individual beasts together.

I sat at the same table with this mama in September at the CURE Luncheon. Her hair had grown back in and she looked gorgeous! However, she was in full "fight" mode for Ryan as her treatment was now over.

This week while her husband was taking Ryan to NYC for a treatment, she went back to her hem/onc doctors with a constant headache and a nasty cough and found out that she has very little time left. Her cancer is back with a vengeance and she has developed a blood disorder. Due to the blood disorder, she went home on hospice. It is hard for me to type that word...hospice...hospice is for OLD people. Old people who have lived out their lives, not young mamas who still need to be in the fight for their adorable little boy.

My friend Jenny said it best...just pray. I sure have.

Ryan's site is http://www.superryan.blogspot.com/

Thanks for reading.

In His hands,
Kim
